Freedom Check - May 2015 (Feeling the squeeze)

At the end/beginning of every month, I will update the status of my freedom fund as a way to stay accountable to you and myself. Assuming everything else remains constant, the freedom fund is based on the number of months that I am able to sustain myself without income.

Freedom Check - May 2015

Income = 100%

Less:

Family = 10.1%
Personal = 0.8%

Rental = 27.8%

Food = 31.2%

Transport = 6.9%

Cell = 1.0%

Household = 0.5%

Travel = 3.2%

Misc. = 0%

Shopping = 5.1%

Contribution to Freedom Fund = 13.4%

Value of freedom: 18.09 months

It's been my second month now living an almost 'paycheck-to-paycheck' life but these few months have been extremely taxing as I'm juggling between getting my income line back to normal and my wedding arrangements.

By the end of this month, my focus should be back on getting that income line back up again.
